woot czars:

Based on posts alone, the former would appear to have been a bit more popular. Maybe for the next game, a mash-up of Crapword and Crapschmidt could work.

You could still have trivia clues that would result in a word that you would then find in a word search that has values attached to the word which you would then tack on to the end of a URL in the same fashion as this game to get a Board of Circuits

Just spit-balling here, and it would take some more noodling, but it's a start.

Not sure if this is a completely accurate assessment. I noticed people were posting about the questions in the specific item. Since the crossword answers had more to do with previous clues I think everyone congregated in the main forum instead of the item forum.

For those who don't know, you can usually use your woot order # to track by reference on the fedex site. Often times, this works before you get any shipping notification from woot.

I hope mine takes a slow roast on its way to CA. Usually it gets to my residence really fast. I'm actually leaving on vacation and won't be back until the 3rd. Hopefully someone like the Vietnam Veterans don't do a random pickup like earlier this week and just grab the box because it's in my front.

You very well could be right... there were quite a few folks posting on the items. I did see a lot with anywhere from 20-40 (and some with more) comments, some about item, but most about the clue.

I'm skeptikal since the Crapword had over 3600 posts in the forum (as well as some on the items just like this one), while the Crapschmidt had barely over 800. That's a giant difference... and you'd have a tough time convincing me the other 2800 or so posts ended up on the item listings.

But, anything is possible. After all, David Hasselhoff is a famous singer in Germany... who would have ever thought that could happen?

My guess is that they're going to mix it up with how you are able to buy them, so we may not see either method again, or we might see them both rehashed, along with other woot-off games yet to be imagined.

Mine still has awaiting shipping status as well. However, as of a day ago I was able to track by reference on Fedex's website. Just use your woot order number for the reference number. I would guess it has shipped. Let me know if you have any questions.

I guess what I'm saying is that not necessarily more people participated, it's just that crapword was a little more interactive on here as people started to share answers or potential answers to help push up the comment count. We still have the content posts which should add another 5 pages or so.

Then again, maybe people got dejected on seeing so many sold out bags each time they went to the page. I know I stopped trying at work because my work computer just wasn't conducive to it, that and well.. I was getting slammed with last minute work requests because I'm going on vacation.

Same generic box size of 16x12x10, 8.4 pounds scheduled for a Wednesday delivery.

The fact that I was up at 2am and able to mathematize Google to such an extent to score one of these was an accomplishment in itself, so I will be more than happy with whatever arrives. 'Tis crap, after all!

My gift crap is 15"x12"x10" and 5.1 lbs. I'll be gone for 2 weeks so I won't get it until then and then it will be gift wrapped and time capsuled for one year as a wedding gift. Should be an interesting crap.

Well, technically he didn't ask me to wait, but I know he'd love to be part of the opening process. So, despite the 9yo's incessant whining about needing to see what's inside ASAP, it will have to wait for another couple hours.

I got mostly a combination of what everyone has thus far reported (clickstraws, ear warmers with headphones, safety blinking lights, purple flower bag, lotion/shower gel set, impossibly small woot shirt) but also received a couple of theme-paired items which was neat. The themes were...

BABIES!
x1 Monkey doll that lights up as a night light and plays either ocean sounds or a lullaby.
x1 Baby fresh food feeder (kinda like this.... http://www.amazon.co.uk/baby/dp/B004QQ5HMU)
